A bicycle needn't be all about going places. These chic, retro-styled statement cycles combine utility with luxurious good looks.

The Sogreni Classic is handmade in Denmark and weighs a mere 10 kilos. The entire bike is coated in a Sogreni secret-formula matte treatment, giving the bike a beautiful color and ultimate rust protection (€1,450; sogreni.dk).

To stow and go, the French luxury trunk craftsman Pinel & Pinel has designed a handmade leather trunk for carrying a foldable Brompton bike, which is included and can be collapsed in 10 to 20 seconds. Customers can choose from 51 colors of leather for the outside casing and inside lining, ranging from luxurious crème and candy-apple red to lime green and lavender (€6,000; pineletpinel.com).

But leading the pack in true vintage style is the Velorbis Scrap Deluxe. This silver attention-getter comes with blond balloon tires. Its mustache-shaped handlebars and luxury leather grips and saddle are designed for utmost comfort and posture alignment (€899; velorbis.com). Now don't skimp on the bike lock.
